Hollywood Reporter

Dale: Thank You for coming to see me Abe.

Abe: My pleasure Dale, have not talked to you for centuries.

Dale:I need your help, the society of today is in grave danger.

Abe: Why is that?

Dal: This election, Trump and Clinton2016. It's a turning point.

Abe: Ah, yes I look down on my country with much shame now. Tears continually running down my face.

Dale: I am so sorry Abe. It is not your fault!

Abe: Then why are my tears causing rising sea levels Dale?

Dale:.....

Dale:Do you see the despair?

Abe: Yes

Dale: Are they hopeless?

Abe :No, they just believe they are.

Dale: Why?

Abe: The expectations of Society make them afraid. Nobody speaks out correctly.

Dale: Correctly?

Abe: Silence can be the loudest voice at a riot Dale.

Dale: I see. So are you afraid of this election?

Abe:Yes, I felt the same as I decided to run for president.

Dale: Truly Afraid?

Abe: Yes, such change that the people wish shall not come from the government.

Dale: Why is that?

Abe:It must come from the people my friend. I was only a face of the people. I did nothing.

Dale: What do you mean?

Abe: When I looked towards the winning ballot like everyone else, I was sad.

Dale: How come Abe?

Abe: I was not unanimous....

Dale: So what you won the majority right?

Abe: *Sighs* IF I earned a 65% on an exam, did I pass?

Dale: Yes

Abe:Did I do well?

Dale: Depends, was their a curve?

Abe: Of Course not! I lived in the 1800s my friend!

Dale: Very True

Abe: So did I do well?

Dale: I guess not.

Abe: So why is it ok to settle with a 65%?

Dale: It is never ok! I just talked to a student who was distressed because of 65%.

Abe: So do you think Trump or Hillary will realize the other 35%?

Dale No...

Abe: And the people?

Dale: Possibly even less.

Abe: Do you see why my tears are going to fall on election day?

Dale: Yes I do.

Abe: I only wish people realize the lack of unity in my nation Dale....

Dale: Why is that?

Abe: So realize they are afraid.

Dale:And when they realize?

Abe:They will change, the right way.

Dale: So will you vote this election Abe?

Abe: I shall abstain.

Dale: Have you asked the founding fathers about this?

Abe: Yes

Dale: What did they say?

Abe: They looked at me with silence and tears....

Dale: How come?

Abe:...

Dale: Abe? Where are you walking to!?

Abe:....

Dale: Abraham!

Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
